A great story of the inner works of the largest drug cartel and the mastermind behind it. Not as good as El Narco, but a good beginning book for anyone who wants a better understanding of what is really happening in Mexico as well as in America, and now the rest of the world.
Un livre un peu déprimant sur la montée du trafic de drogue et la mise en place des cartels au Mexique. Facile à lire et très documenté, il a le défaut de rester au niveau de l'anecdote en manquant d'approfondir certains aspects qui me semblent importants, comme la partie USA de la guerre contre la drogue. L'auteur a aussi une certaine fascination pour son personnage, même si ça reste léger.
